It’s hard to catch all the genius of HBO’s Veep in only one viewing. For instance, this week, I watched Veep once and wrote down what I thought were the best lines, then I went back and watched again. What was remarkable about the second viewing is that, in an episode all about precise word choice, I caught an immense amount of plays on words. It wasn’t just the five “Robust” puns I referred to last night. Check out the number of puns and plays on words that didn’t make the list of the 15 best lines: 1) Veeplipedia; 2) It’s Garyoke Time; 3) Must Sue TV; 4) I call that overshadow boxing; 5) Here he is, Kanye West Wing; 5) Hope it comes with Cliff Notes. That’s my name; 6) Secretary of Defense Maddox is living up to his name. He’s mad. As an ox; and 7) Fastest gun in the West Wing.

Someone worked overtime on their puns for this week’s episode, which saw Vice President Meyers publicly own and celebrate a hostage rescue situation, only to privately grieve that she cost a soldier his leg. Who knew the Vice President had feelings?

Here are the week’s 15 Funniest, Meanest, and Most Vicious Lines from the “Hostage” episode of Veep.
